Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 6, sentence 123

Don't you remember how you would go through that jungle, though I begged and begged you not to go, for I told you that harm would happen to me, and then a fakir came and threw powder in my face, and I became a heap of ashes.

Who acts: you, I, harm, fakir · What happens: do, not remember, go, beg, not go, tell · To what, where: jungle, you, me, powder, face, heap · Speech: someone speaks here
